"Study Of Baby Jesus For A Nativity. Italian School Of The 17th Century."
Pen and brown ink, red chalk and stump, gray wash and white highlights on laid paper. This drawing illustrates the perfect mastery of its author's drawing and painting techniques. Indeed, the shortcut made here to show an oblique point of view from the back of the head of the lying Child is masterful. And the use of multiple lines and colors shows his ease in using pigments to create a realistic model.
The drawing is highlighted by a mat and framed under glass with a molded and gilded wooden strip.
